Starting on 3/5, presenters will become prime responders to Mr. Woodruff's questions about the topic.
Mr. Woodruff will lead class discussion for the rest of the year.Prime Responders will have their interaction with Mr. Woodruff be counted as presentations.
Not being on time or in attendance will affect the Prime Responders grades.

Phil period 7FOR SECOND PRESENTATIONS: presenters are to read their materials and do all the presentation work during the week before their presentations. I will check that as their homework, not the assigned homework the rest of the class has. You are expected to take notes in class and still write the in-class essay on the material the week before you present.

High Honors Students: Read (or reread) the Searle article and write a response to how your presentations fit into the future of philosophy.

Sample Final Draft

Extra Credit: Plato's The Republic

Read and respond to a book at a time. Before you respond you need to quote 3 important moments in the text and then write a response to those important moments. Each response may be a double response: honors being 2 pages, HH being 3 pages. Double the response will be double the points.The Complete Plato, Jowett translation
This is a pdf and is also available for the Kindle, but it has the whole text at one time.
The Republic starts on page 980.

Kurzman, et al.

Monday: read the article and find and define ten key terms and concepts; write a steps of the argument for the entire article excluding the personal narratives, and reflect on the role of status in human development.
Tuesday;
HH: read the article on "Class, Status, and Party" and respond to it.
